I attended the 
field hearing for IPL's
Harding upgrade plan
the proposal: to
improve pollution controls,
reduce mercury
plan will cost hundreds
of millions of dollars passed
onto ratepayers
those in attendance
didn't think that was fair, nor
do they support coal
coal, while a cheap source
of energy, is a source
of greenhouse gases
greenhouse gases are
warming the earth, making the
weather chaotic ...
acidifying
oceans, intensifying
invasive species...
causing deeper droughts,
more raucous rainstorms, and a
melting Arctic Sea
why can't we progress
into the future instead
of mulling the past?
this is our moment
our time to tell kids we changed
things for the better
